Question 1022983: Larry tells his friend he has a bag containing 4 types of marbles: cat’s eye, clear, cloud, and corkscrew. He says that 1/9 of the marbles are corkscrew, 2/9 are clear, and 5 are cloud. What is the fewest number of cat’s eye marbles that could be in the bag? Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source):

If there are only 9 marbles in the bag, 1 is corkscrew, 2 are clear, 5 are cloud...that leaves one to be a cat's eye.
